    Description

    In 1908, 1913, 1921 and 1926  University of Washington ventured to Japan in the spirit of international cooperation and played against mainly the
    Japanese Big Six University League teams.  In these photographs Washington University is playing against Keio University.  While I am not sure the year
    of these photos, there was a series of postcards similar (ie, photos taken live during the game) against Washington University so most likely this is the 1921 tour.
    Photos are VG. There are small holes in the upper left where they appear to have been stapled. Also one of the post cards has some writing on the back
    Size: 6 1/8" x 4 1/2"
    Not directly related to this item, Japan has recently restarted EMS shipments to the US after about 1 year of it being halted. Finally! Sadly EMS prices have tripled (for now)
    and that is reflected in the shipping price.  I expect the price to come down over the next year. Also shipments might take more time than previously. If there is anything you are looking for in terms of Japanese baseball memorabilia feel free to contact me directly. Over the next month I will try to list around 50 to 70  items so there will be a lot. Also Mark H, please do contact me
